I have the Hauppauge HVR-1600. I, at one time, did actually get it going by following threads at www.ubuntuforums.org. Since then I have tried over and over again to set it up again but have been unsuccessful.
I would like to try to figure this out in a more methodical way so that if I succeed I will actually know /why/ I succeeded. So, for my first question to this mailing list I would like to ask just what are the steps that I must take to get the HVR 1600 going? Is this just a matter of installing the proper driver and getting the proper firmware files and installing them properly? I think I have done those two things properly and still have no success. So there must be more to it. It doesn't help that when people try to explain this they seem to explain in a way that /assumes that we already have a certain level of knowledge. /I get really confused with all the terminology such as cx18, ivtv, v4l, etc. And the commands... dmesg, lspci, ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0, modprobe cx18, etc. AAARGHHHHH!!!! So please bare with me. My question is this... On a fresh Ubuntu installation with my Hauppauge HVR 1600 inserted into the motherboard, what are the basic steps that are required to make my HVR 1600 work? / / _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
